On Wednesday 17 February 2026, Paul and Jackson from Waste Initiatives (Sydney) visited the Coonamble Waste Facility to deliver operational training on Councilโs new cardboard baler machine.
The key aim of this initiative is to reduce the volume of cardboard going to landfill and help extend the operational life of the current landfill cell well into the future.
Our Waste Team โ led by Glen Hamilton, Bryan Millgate and Damien Manson, with Daniel Woodard operating the skid steer โ successfully separated and loaded cardboard into the baler. After several practice runs, the team proudly produced their very first completed bale โ a fantastic milestone for the project!
Weโre also pleased to announce a new regional partnership between Coonamble Waste and Carlinga Enterprises at Gilgandra Recycling. This collaboration will see bulk cardboard consolidated between the two organisations, helping to reduce transport costs to Western Sydney and strengthen regional cooperation.
This is a positive step forward for waste management in our Shire, with more updates to come as the initiative progresses. ๐ฑ
